When the late Nadine Stair of Louisville,
Kentucky, was 85 years old, she was asked what she would do if she had her life
to live over again. I'd make more mistakes next time, she said. I would relax.
I would limber up. I would be sillier than I have been on this trip. I would
take fewer things seriously. I would take more chances. I would climb more
mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I
would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I'd have fewer imaginary ones.

You
see, I'm one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day
after day. Oh, I've had my moments, and if I had to do it over again, I'd have
more of them. In fact, I would try to have nothing else. Just moments, one
after another, instead of living so many years ahead of each day, I have been
one of those persons who never goes anywhere without a thermometer, a hot water
bottle, and a raincoat. If I had to do it over again, I would travel lighter
than I have. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in
the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I
would ride more merry-go-rounds and I would pick more daisies.
